One alternative measureis faculty peer observation. We have developed a novel faculty peer observation protocol focusedon self-reflection and formative feedback for STEM faculty. Engineering faculty have found theprotocol helpful and used the method to expand professional networks

Reflections were then analyzed from a corpus-based discourse analytic perspective forwhat kind of knowledge the students gained in the PLP experience, procedural or declarative.Additionally, the language in the reflections was analyzed for stance—the students’ perspectiveson what they claimed they had learned. Results showed that students were gaining proceduralknowledge throughout the semester.

Introduction of this workshop was motivated by the significant roleGTAs play in implementing teaching change in the large courses targeted by the project (e.g.,leading recitations and labs) and the need for GTAs to have structured professional developmentbefore the semester begins. In the early years of the project, GTAs met semi-regularly withintheir departments during the semester
